Hire Our Bexhill Band - Book Us Now For Your Music Event!

Are you planning a local music event? You want the hottest band in Bexhill and Cooden to play live for you! Hire the Cooden Wacky Wind Orchestra - we'll fit your bill whether you're planning a private charity dinner party or an al fresco barbecue on the beach! We're happy to play on stage or in your garden! Book the best!

Our forthcoming events in June, July and August include playing at the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill on Sea 6pm on Sunday 26th June, and Robertsbridge Beer & Music Festival on Saturday 16th July. You are very welcome to hear us at these free outdoor events! Bring all your family too!

You may just be lucky enough to groove to our Wacky Band sounds at a charity party or a country pub barbecue too, so look out for us in East Sussex over these sultry summer months! But if you want to be sure of a musical bonanza then simply book us for your forthcoming event and we'll discuss suitable music for you!

In fact, we're surprisingly affordable! Although we do charge a little extra when playing for Royalty or Royal events. You can be sure of an afternoon or evening of great music with the Cooden Wacky Wind Orchestra - your local Bexhill band extraordinaire! Contact Paul today for a no obligation discussion of your music event.

We play a big selection of music including big band swing, military marches, wonderful waltzes, show & film themes, pop beat, mambo & latin, beautiful ballades, scrumptious songs and serenades, pop proms, fanfares, folk taradiddles, sing-along, super 70's, sobbing the blues, upbeat two steps, calm classics, hymns by request, scorching solos, small ensemble arrangements - and our 30's jazz is always in demand for dancing and elegant encores! From Mozart to Glenn Miller, and Mancini to Cliff Richard, we'll play your tune!

So we're looking forward to playing for your local East Sussex or Kent music event (especially beer festivals)! Hire our Bexhill band! Book the Cooden Beach Wacky Wind Orchestra for all the fun of the fayre, or a more reserved summer serenade amongst the glades of your garden or country house. Don't delay - we are booking up fast this summer! Choose from our 10 piece group, or any size ensemble you prefer from 15 to 20 to 30 players! We will make your party swing!

Have a great summer! :)

No Brass Band In Bexhill So Join Our Ace Concert Band Instead! Cooden Beach Wind Orchestra Welcomes You!

Sad but true! Bexhill-on-Sea boasting a proud seafront bandstand has no brass band! However, this need not deter brass players as our trombone, trumpet, cornet, tuba and horn players will agree - if you play a brass musical instrument or a woodwind instrument join our Thursday evening rehearsals from 8.30pm in the Cooden Beach Tennis Club main hall on Withyham Road very near the rail station at Cooden Beach, Bexhill-on-Sea.

We are the Wacky Band - Cooden Supper Band (Wind Orchestra) 30 strong (hire our 10 piece group or 15-20-30 players depending on your event) and we play a wide variety of music from pop to military to songs from the shows to jazz bigband swing to film themes. Never a dull moment! Flutes, clarinets, saxes and drums complete the ensemble to form an impressive big sound! If you looking to play exciting music in cool arrangements and you'd like the occasional solo - or maybe you'd prefer to just fit inside the ensemble sound - join us on Thursdays! Feel free to just turn up - we'll provide all your sheet music and introduce you to your music section!

Friendly and fun music practice night with the Cooden Beach Wind Orchestra - a concert band with style!

Bexhill may lack a brass band but we fill the musical gap with our wind orchestra concert band so boogie on down to the tennis club - drinks bar social afterwards. All welcome - don't be shy - we have music for you :)

Look out for us in the Bexhill on Sea Summer Music Festival June 2011 - we'll be playing at the De La Warr Pavillion - take a stroll along the promenade and hear the great bigband swing jazz sounds of CBWO. All the fun of the traditional English seaside - who's for ice cream?

NB: There is a super brass ensemble in Sidley! We recommend you play for CBWO, however ;)
